Do believe he had V3s on his...

they are over a grand more than b14s but obviously have adjustable dampening, just depends if you think that's worth it really for what you want out the car.

The b14s are like £700 or something - and from my experience they transform the car (baring in mind mine was a none cup 200t, not trophy) so there'd be less of a change for you. Perhaps you need to have a ride in mind and see how it feels in comparison...

Just depends if you want/feel you need that extra adjustability that you get with v3s, club sports, ASTs etc, but they come at a price!

About time you started a thread!
Re. coilovers, I believe the 220 Trophy has the same spring rates on the front as the 200t and only the rears have changed, around 40% stiffer with dampers to match. So B14's should make a similar difference, they'll just make it more neutral, much in the same way they do with the mk3's.
Which Recaros will you go for Kev?

 

[Pav]

good stuff Kev..finally your baby is getting some TLC
why have it mapped in Belgium??

No one in the UK can map the 220 yet Pav (I think)

From the reviews I've read Kev the front springs are the same, only the rears have changed. Might be worth giving Paul at RS Tuning a call, see if he knows.
